Sushiko — Restaurant in Rohnert Park

As bad as it sounds I didn’t want to write this review…. Part of me wanted to be selfish and keep this place under wraps! But real foodie girls aren’t gatekeeping in 2023 so here goes nothin…. This place is a hidden gem! Nestled in a shopping center between Motel 6, Dollar Tree and Jack in the Box who would have thought this unassuming Sushi joint would be serving the BEST sushi you or I will ever eat. I have been here many times but our most recent visit was the most memorable. We decided to try something new so we ordered the Pink Lady Roll that has crab salad wrapped in salmon and topped with scallop and lemon. Melt in your mouth! Couldn’t get enough of this stuff. Then we got the Geisha Roll. No rice roll with tuna, avocado, crab salad, wrapped in thinly sliced cucumber. DI-VINE! Their Takoyaki is always a hit, ALWAYS. The Ultimate Hamachi roll is an easy win for anyone that loves yellowtail. We got their Miso Salmon special and it did not disappoint. We went on a Wednesday afternoon and were told we were getting the last Salmon special that day. I can’t say enough good things about the food and the service here! The place is super small so they are always packed. Sushiko rivals some of the fancier more well known spots I’ve visited in Northern California cough Kru cough. I drive 60 miles to eat here and don’t plan on stopping any time soon. The only thing that would make this place better is a larger location so we never run the risk of not...

I want to start this review by first saying that I've been to a lot of Japanese restaurants in Northern California but this one tops them all. I didn't know about this restaurant for the longest time as its tucked away in a plaza in the back corner. If you originally judged this place by the outdoor decor or the flickering sign, please don't! Once you step inside, you feel like you are transported directly into a small Japanese restaurant. Its small and cozy with the chefs making fresh rolls right infront of you in the kitchen area. The atmosphere with the lighting, the presentation of the food, and most importantly the taste of the sushi is to die for. I had the sushiko roll since it was my first time and it was the most unbelievable sushi I have ever tasted in my entire life. The tuna melts in your mouth like butter. The complimentary Miso Soup, the large portions, and the fresh taste of the sushi.... OMG..I also tried the warm baked rolls and they were insane! Sooo good.

No wonder this place is always packed with people. The amount of sushi you get and the quality of the dishes feel like I'm in a Michelin star restaurant. I've tried other Japanese restaurants like HANA in Rohnert Park but I got to give the win to this place. Nothing beats the taste of this sushi. I was smiling ear to ear leaving the place. The staff is so kind and...

Absolutely Horrifying!! I got take out from Sushiko, and I ordered the Beef Udon. I have gotten it before from them and enjoyed it, however, this time was not so pleasant. I took a spoonful of broth and all of a sudden - crunch - I bit into a HUGE black/brown bug of some sort. I was in shock for a second and then aggressively washed my mouth out from the fear of a bacteria ridden bug in my food. This is unacceptable... it really makes you question the condition in which their kitchen is kept. Reminds me of something off Kitchen Nightmares! Will not be returning, as I feel this is something that is unacceptable as a restaurant whether it was known or not by the kitchen. It is the fact that there were big black bugs in the food preparation area in the...
